If you cast your mind back to 2019, you’ll remember the widely popular show Love Island making its debut in Hungary – presented by well-known Hungarian presenter Lali Csóró, and closely following the original Love Island UK format (in which young attractive people compete for love and a cash prize.)
Filmed in Cyprus and airing on Hungarian television for six weeks, the show was a great success according to Cyprus-based producer Valentine Nonyela, and fans were happy to see Zsófi Németh and Tícián Lakatos take home the 60,000 euro cash prize. But where are the contestants now, nearly two years after the show originally aired? And are the winning couple still together?
Well, according to her Instagram, the 21-year-old horse riding instructor Zsófi Németh has been plenty busy since her TV debut in 2019, making it to the 2021 finale of Hungary’s TV program Survivor Hun — the survival reality show with seasons taking place all over the world, well known for its intense challenges and emotional toughness. And as for the boxer from Angvatold, Tícián Lakatos, he can be seen enjoying life with his family and friends, alongside spending some time in the boxing ring, according to his Instagram account. The couple does not appear to still be together, with Németh focusing on her TV career. However, they do look back on their time on Love Island fondly, as shown by its proud mention in Németh’s instagram bio.
And what about the show itself? Well, despite Valentine Nonyela’s glowing praise, Love Island Hungary did not see a second season. Nonetheless, despite originating in the UK, Love Island has been growing in popularity all over the world, with countries including Italy, Australia, and The United States now having their own iterations, according to a blog by ExpressVPN. Streaming services like Hulu, Amazon Prime, and ITV give you access to a variety of international versions, which means that viewers are able to universally appreciate the latest reality TV stars.
